About Super Trek: “This is the most comfortable mountaineering boot I’ve ever worn”
says our tester after treks, snowshoes trips, and glacier crossings form Utah to New Zeland. “They’re not for everyday trail hiking, but they’re fine for everything else-big summits, ice climbing, technical rock.” Break-in was fast, and they didn’t leak a drop in slush pools and rain-soaked snow. Credit a high-tech synthetic-and-nubuk upper, a lacing system that’s light on hardware, a quick-drying eVENT liner that boosts warmth in snow, and an excellent last that holds the rear and midfoot while letting toes expand. The midsole has ample flex to keep from feeling too blocky while strinding, yet it has enough torsional rigidity to edge well. Best for medium-volume feet.
